WHAT ARE THE INDICATIONS FOR REMOVING WISDOM TEETH?
Wisdom teeth typically cause issues when they partially emerge through the gums. Removal of wisdom teeth for the following reasons is most common:
- Decay
- Gum infection (pericoronitis)
- Pressure pain
- Orthodontic reasons
- Prosthetic reasons
- Cyst formation
WHEN SHOULD WISDOM TEETH BE EXTRACTED?
- The teeth cannot push all the way into the mouth (impacted)
- The teeth are difficult to clean. This can increase the risk of developing tooth decay or gum disease
- The gum around the wisdom tooth gets infected multiple times
- A cyst or tumour has grown around the tooth
